a couple questions for you samus mains:


1. what suit do you use for samus?
2. do you main zamus as well?
3. if yes to 2, do you sometimes play samus then switch to zamus mid-battle?
4. if there was an option/suit for samus where she didn't have her helmet (but still had her power suit), would you like it/use it?



1. usually i use green or gravity. i also like fusion and dark sometimes, but i don't like fusion zamus much, and dark is way overused, so i tend to stay away from these
2. yes
3. i'm more of a zamus user than a samus user... so yeah, you bet i switch!
4. yes. i would like it and probably use it.



**the idea from #4 came from me playing metroid prime 3, which i just got a few days ago. there was a scene where samus took off her helmet; which is where i got the idea

I use the Gravity Suit. The Zero Suit Samus variant is sexy. :laugh:

2. do you main zamus as well?
No.

3. if yes to 2, do you sometimes play samus then switch to zamus mid-battle?
I answered "No" in the second question, but if I think it'll make me look cool, I'll switch over to Zero Suit Samus.

4. if there was an option/suit for samus where she didn't have her helmet (but still had her power suit), would you like it/use it?
I'd use it, as long as there was no change in defense.

1. I use the Gravity suit.
2. Yep, I'm rather good with her as well.
3. Only if the opponent is someone my Samus can't handle.
4. No. I think that would look weird. I'd rather have a suit with a helmet where you can see her eyes. That was such a big part of the Prime games and I don't know why she still doesn't have her eyes visible.

1: Dark Suit
2: Yes, almost equally.
3: Only if I'm playing around, or there's a other ZSS of the same colour on screen, otherwise the transformation just takes too long.
4: Probly not. It's either all or nothing :)

1. Blue suit, as my name tag in games is COLD.
2. No, but will pick her up once I get Samus to where I want her to be.
3. No, I'm too used to Samus for that to benefit me.
4. Nah, wouldn't like it.

1. what suit do you use for samus?
-- Default Varia. I would choose Gravity (Purple), but I'm the kind of guy who wants to start the next match asap, so I never get to change it. The other colors don't feel like I'm really using Samus.
2. do you main zamus as well?
-- No, her jumps are too high. If you change that one little detail, I would main her.
3. if yes to 2, do you sometimes play samus then switch to zamus mid-battle?
-- I'd rather charge one of her fail shots than to risk my opponents picking up one of my suit pieces before I do.
4. if there was an option/suit for samus where she didn't have her helmet (but still had her power suit), would you like it/use it?
-- That depends. Is the moveset different?

Fusion suit Samus for ssb4!

Gravity Suit. It has always been one of my favourites.

2. do you main zamus as well?
I use her occasionally, but not main.

3. if yes to 2, do you sometimes play samus then switch to zamus mid-battle?
Sometimes.

4. if there was an option/suit for samus where she didn't have her helmet (but still had her power suit), would you like it/use it?
That would be pretty cool actually. Although, I would like it to be the helmetless Samus from the end of the original Prime rather than more recent "cartoony" version of her. And as long as it wouldnt change anything besides appearance, then yes I would use it.

1. I use fusion blue (it's the closest to Mega Man)
2. I'm thinking about it.
3. The only way I would use ZSS is by switching from Samus.
4. Hellz yeah, that would be awesome.

I play with the purple suit.. I think its dope, I sued to play with the pink suit in melee but I think purple is better in brawl, it's very motherly. I play with feminine colors because Samus is a chick and my tag is MOM.

I dont play as zss, and I like samus all covered up, even her eyes.

1. Varies. My favorites are the Varia Suit and the pink (2D games) Gravity Suit. I'm also fond of the Dark Suit. The Vomit Suit has its own unique charm. The Fusion Suit is really the only one I don't like.
2. No, I main Samus. Zero Suit Samus is one of my two secondaries (the other being Peach).
3. Of course not.
4. That would be amazing.

1. I often use the green suit but since it's starting to get overused I've been considering three others. The varia suit still has my favourite red/green colour combination and the dark suit looks snazzy but the pink gravity suit was samus' most advanced suit, being able withstand lava and walk through it with ease.
2. Nope
4. I think that would make for an awesome taunt and would fit quite well with the whole taunt transformation into ZZS. As a constume I wouldn't use it.

1. Looks like I'm the only one using the Dark Suit around here. :)
2. I hardly ever play as ZSS.
3. N/A
4. Um like, you see Samus' real head, and she's wearing the suit? Like the ending in Metroid Prime? Um that'd be kind of weird I think. I prefer her with the helmet on.

3: Sometimes. usually just for show though :p
4: uhh...would i like it? sure why not, would i use it?...sure why not, but thats not to say i wouldn't use helmed samus :p

1.) What suit do you use for Samus?
Gravity Suit.

2.) Do you main Zero Suit Samus as well?
Yes.

3.) Do you sometimes play Samus, then switch to Zero Suit Samus mid-battle?
Very rarely, yes.

4.) If there was an option/suit for Samus where she didn't have her helmet on, would you like it/use it?
Only if it was a taunt.

Some interpret the pink to be Super's Gravity (or NES Varia), but in these cases they'll specify this, or simply say pink.

It's pink in more games than it is purple.
It's purple in Super Metroid, and purple in Metroid Prime. The only game in which it appears to be pink is Metroid: Zero Mission, but even then the cutscenes prove that it's intended to be purple.

Don't bring up the original Metroid. That was the Varia Suit upgrade.

It's clearly pink in Super Metroid, and it is the same color in Zero Mission. It's only purple in the endings in ZM.

i always saw it as purple >_>.... only time i ever noticed samus being actually PINK was in the original metroid, when shooting missiles >_>....

if it's purple in the endings of ZM, and it's the same color in ZM as it is in SM, then clearly SM and ZM intended gravity suit to be purple :p

that's just what i think >_>



can we not fight over this, though? it ruined one of the threads on the zamus boards, i don't want it to murder anything on the samus boards, too :p

I always thought the gravity suit was purple. Even in SM I thought it was, although it was a kind of pinkish purple, rather than the deep purple of the later games.

The gravity suit was pink in super metroid and in zero mission, purple in metroid prime. In terms of usefulness, the pink gravity suit was superior. I also think the purple suit could represent the fully corrupted PED suit (with hazard shield) since the designers didn't make different suits for the fusion and dark.

Edit: The purple suit has light blue lights in the knees, visor and shoulder armour which kinda reminds me of the hazard shield.

Purple
no

Having people ogling your character is an effective strategy. Though it's kinda like a double edged sword. Also, I think ZZS does a better job at it.

funny thing is: the gravity suit in ZM had green lights in the knees :p.

also, the PED suit corrupted had a lot of blue in it. A LOT. i actually preferred it before the hazard shield =\... but what can ya do?

You're clever and funny. Have you ever played either of those two games? It's purple in the ending screens of ZM. It's pink in gameplay.

The shade of pink in Super Metroid is the exact same as in Smash. There's no way the Gravity Suit is purple in SM, unless you also think the pink suit in every Smash Bros. is purple as well.

All the Hazard Shield did was change the shoulders. The rest of the suit stayed exactly the same.

The jetpack was changed, too.

Also, does this look pink to you? Didn't think so.
